Women come to this shelter because they are trying to escape from abusive situations and cant afford any place else. Imagine the irony that they encourage and condone bullying here. How do they get away with it? Pat Handy the long time social worker whom this shelter is named after would be wagging her finger! The evening staff mean well but overworked it only takes one or two types with narcissistic controlling personality disorder for things to get out of hand.
The social workers dont understand that their s****.>
For a senile old gal she has a pretty good memory for harboring grudges for days and even weeks! She and another gal who hang around the building outside all day in their dc color coded smoker gang were practice their hate rhetoric all day long. Nursing tiny details into huge grudges, gossiping, spreading hate invectives against nonblacks, plotting and condoning retaliatory games, even strategizing how to get others kicked out. At the mediation meeting with a rookie counselor of color he asked me to apologize to the old gal.
He didnt think she had to apologize to me because she just sat there hard faced hostile pretending senility. "I dont know who she is. I dont know her, i dont talk to her, i dont say good morning to her." I said sharing the same bed frame, it would be nice if we could have a civil relationship. "If you touch me i will eff you up!" she shouted a couple of times. I am not a d**e, i am in fact very quiet and considerate just not the chocolate color, so by their group gang code, it is okay to harass me. Their intercultural blindness excludes the fact that i might know more about Dr king jr's life and studied more of his speeches than they ever did. Knowledge experience appreciation dont enter the picture whether it is staff or residents.
The old gal is not senile when she knows and remembers the names of all her pals in the gang. When the old gal wakes up our dorm room 4:30am and tells people its time to get up, why arent they awake yet. When the old gal knows when and how to be polite to all "people who matter." N street needs to realize they are letting bullies determine who can stay and who must go, along with one or two NCPD type staff imho. They make a mockery of mediation by allowing this old gal to try to frame me through small incidents that she is at least partially responsible for.
They need to realize these women can use training courses on positive communication and learning about cultural differences. Not just through food or watching tv all evening like family feud. We have to learn about honoring differences in values lifestyles ways people spend their leisure or work. Respecting different purposes in life you might say. After all wouldnt Pat Handy like it if someone wrote a nice book about her life?
